IN BEHALF OF TEMPERANCE.
The Meeting at Metropolitan Hall
Last Night.

The first OF a series of temperance meet
Jugs, 10 be held under the auspices OF the
various temperance societies in Sayan-
AN. was held last night at Metropolitan
Hall. In spite of the threatening weather
the hall was filed.
The meeting was under the auspices Of
the Order OF Rechsbites. The members
OF the order attended in resalia, as also
did the members OF Savannah ana Chris
tian Temple lodges of Good Templars.
Mr.. z. b. Finney presided. The meeting
was opened with prayer By Rev. I. I.
Christian.
Rev. Leonard W. Bacon, OF the Ince-
pendent Presbyterian Church, spoke for
half An bOur or more on the evil OF in
temperance ard the means OF controlling
II. DR.. Bacon believes IN regulating the
sale Of liquor by license. He is opposed
to prohibition. on the ground that it is
not practicable.
In the course OF his address he cited
number OF instances in Connecti-
cut where prohibitory laws tailed
and license laws succeeded in
bringing about a better state OF affairs.
DR.. Bacon said that he is aware that
many differ with him on the temperance
question, but be is convinced in his own
mind hat prohibition is not practicable
n
proper regulation Of the liquor business
under license laws he believes to be the
only way to deal vita the matter.
Rev. }. w. Rogan, OF the First Presby-
terian Church, and Rev. T. T. Christian
took issue with Or. Bacon. Both are
positive Prohibitionists. They believe
that prohibition Is practicable and that
in time prohibitory laws will be enacted
by every stale IN the Union. AS an evil
hEnnn n ha i,,f ox
OF prohibition, MIR. Rogan referred TO the
vote of The National Prohibition party
since it was organized in 1872. In the
first election it was 5000. Four years
later, in 1876 1t was 1900.
In 1880 it had increased to 10, 600, and in
1884 il was 100000. "What better proof do
we need" he asked, ethan the statistics.
which show that in four years from 1880
to 1884 the strength of the National Pro-
hihiJion party increased from 10000 to
100000, that there is growing senti-
ment in favor of prohibition?"
Mr.. Christian spoke at some length.
de believes 10 prohibition, first and last,
and is opposed TO license. high or low.
You cannot make license high
enough" he SAID, "to do
away with the liquor traffic.
A $1,000 license will not do it, $4,000
license will not, nor will a $40, 900 license.
II the City Council OF Savannah should
fix the liquor dealers license at $4,000
1t would be paid. 1t would not stop the
business. 1.-The present license" he
added, sis just no license at all. The
only way TO deal with the liquor traffic is
to prohibit 1t altogether"
Other addresses were made by members
OF the different. societies, and the pro-
gramme was filled in with music. Mr.
II. w. Readlck, Mr.. j. N. McDonough,
Nr. Ii. Ii. King, and Miss Annie Laird,
accompanied by Mrs. Gustin and Mr..
NJ. L. Byck, participated in the musical
part OF the entertainment.

ASHORE ON TYBEE BEACH
THE BARK ADONiS LIKELY TO
BECOME A WRECK.

The Captain and His Family Taken TO
the Signal Station-The Vessel Loses
Hcr Anchors In a Gale and Drifts Into
tue Breakers-Beached by Her Pilot
TO Save the Lives of Those on Board.
The Norwegian bark Adonis, from
Barbados for this port, went ashore on
Iybee beach, near the hotel, at 7 O'Clock
yesterday morning. The night before the
vessel anchored to the southwark OF
Tybee Island light in three tathoms OF
water. The tugs Republic and John w.
Lynn went to her and rendered their SER
wees to tow her to the quarantine station,
but the price not suiting the Captain OF
the bark the tenders were refused.
During Friday night strong southeast
I wind sprang up and with 1t rose heavy
sea. Yesterday morning the bark's two
anchors were lest and the vessel began
drifting on Stone Horse shoals. Capt.
Henry Fleetwood, the vessels pilot,
states that he was compelled to beach her
In order 10 save the lives of those on
board.
The Captain, his wife and child were
loaded from the stranded vessel, and are
now at the Tybee signal station. The
crew is still aboard the vessel.
The Captain telephoned to the city
and tugs were sent TO the
assistance of the vessel, but could not get
near her, as she was high up on the beach,
and they returned to the city. The crew,
which is still on board, is in no immedI-
ate danger, as the vessel can be easily
abandoned at any time. 1t is believed
that she will prove total wreck. She
~ very likely settle in the Sand and fill.
Fit is said to be impossible to haul
Her off.
The Adonis is an old vessel, having
been built at Montrose, Scotland, ia 1865,
and is owned oy company In Krageroe,
Nnway, where she Is insured in Norwe-
slaii clubs. She is 1913 tons burden, and

AT THE THEATRE.
Kellar the Necromancer Does Many
Wonderful Things.

Prof. Kellar treated large audience at
me Theatre last evening to an exceed
ingly mysterious and Thoroughly interest
ing exhibition OF the black art. Some.of
his manifestations We're not only
puzzllng to the most highly educated,
out were seemingly beyond the scope OF
the power OF man.
The first part OF the entertainment con-
sisted Of tricks OF an unfathomable
nature, leading many to believe that the
wizard was assisted by shades from the
land OF spirits. Psyche, the great Egyp-
tian mathematician, multiplied and
squared numbers, arriving at calculations
with figures in the billions. With no
Dther agency than the palms of his hands
and the tips OF his fingers, the professor
raised chairs, tables and stands from the
hoor with the greatest ease.
The cabinet performance was remark
able, and the room being darkened the
Exhibition was made extremely weird
The subject was tied firmly
to a chair IN the cabinet, and a committee
selected from the audience stood by to
see that there was no one else near to as
sist the professor. Banjos, tambourines,
bells and other instruments flew through
the air, playing melancholy music, in tn @
most deceptive manner. The "Knight's
Tour" on the chess board Is most re-
markabIe feat.
The performance gave great satisfao-
ton. Mr.. kellar will appear at a matinee
Today and at regular. performance to-
might.

TAKEN FROM 4 GRAVE.
Discovery of an .xhumed Body in
the Old Cemetery.

~
the Old Cemetery.
A report was current yesterday that an
attempt had been made TO rob a grave
during the night in the old
cemetery on South Broad street.
Istatement created quite a sensation.
DR.. Mcfarland, City Health officer, and
Capt. Dixon, Coroner. were notified and
an investigation was made.
An Egyptian metal casket was found
on heap of fresh earth near
the South Broad street en-
trance to the cemetery. The glass
plate over the lace of the casket was bro
ken and the features of a man of middle
age were disclosed. The body was IN a
good state of preservation, which was due
10 the casket being alright. DIR. McFar-
land, whose duty IL is TO grant permits
for the disinterment OF bodies, stated that
he had not granted one for the removal of
She body, and the authorities were puz-
~Zled to know who eXhumed the casket.
AS iL emitted q sickening odor the Coro-
ner had it entered.
The ahoul story spread and was gener-
ally believed, Tor mystery seemed TO en-
velop the case. the police did not credit
that part OF the story, and said that some
parties had teen resurrecting bodies in
the cemetery on Thursday for removal to
Bonayenture. The discovery OF the
casket early in the morning was at first
accepted as proof that st had been dug up
during the night.

The HiT,n,nghum Ex1en.,op

The OpelIka Times has the following
Interesting item: "Just at this time the
Columbus and Western extension are
halted in the construction of a brId4e
over the Coosa river. Some of the work
bad been begun when the bridge men were
hoped by the United States engineers,
who inquired OF the contractors what
right they bad to obstruct the Coosa. The
United States statutes at large forbid
the construction OF a bridge over any
naVlgable stream without act of Congress
granting the privilege. This privilege
the company failed TO get before
they begun the work, and hence
the interference OF the govern
ment engineers whose business 1t is to
look alter such matters. The company
can get the act passed in all probability
before the adjournment OF the present
Congress, and can resume work in the
course OF few days. In the event OF a
failure TO secure the passage of the bill
granting this right, they may go to work
and build draw bridge, but il is beld in
the opinion of some OF the legal fraternity
OF the city that sucn a Step. might give
grounds to the government for bringing
suit against the road. However. the diff
culties viii be obviattd and the delay
viii be temporary only, for the compile
ton OF this road is OF too much impor-
lance TO the country to suffer it to remain
at standstill for any length of time"

Prepared Food for stock.

Attention is called to the advertisement
in to-day's NEWS of Bond, Haynes d Ell
ton. The prepared stock food referred to
in the advertisement has been used for
some time past by several OF the largest
feeders, is carefully prepared and gives
satisfaction. The very best material is
used in its preparation. In the spring of
the year, on account OF climatic Infu-
ences, the grain used for feeding stock
frequently causes sickness among them.
Messrs. Bond, Haynes & Elton have de-
termined to produce an article adapted to
the climate, nutritious, strengthening
and combining all the qualities of corn
and oats without any Of the danger at
tending the using OF the whole grain.
They invite feeders generally to try 1t and
they guarantee that it will give perfect
satisfaction.

From BIakeIy to Columbia.

The people OF Columbia, Ala, are anx-
ious to have the Central build branch
road from Blakely, Ca, to that point.
The only thing that seems to be in the
way of the enterprise is the bridging of
the Chattahoochee. Columbia Is on the
west side OF the river, and in order to
reach the town from BIakely bridge
would have TO be built. The railroad
people are in favor Of building the road if
ii were not for the bridge, and probably if
the people of Columbia will build that the
Central will build the road,
